lavender incense

Macro Mondays 'Stick' theme.

I was going to do chopsticks then at the last minute remembered I had these small lavender incense sticks and tiny holder. They burnt down much quicker than the incense sticks I've used in the past, I had to keep lighting another one before I got the shot I wanted, the most difficult part was getting a nice plume of smoke in the right position - it tended to float up too high, which would have meant I had to crop it out to fit the size limits.

 

The smoke is lit by shining a small led torch beam through it.

 

The total image measures approx 7 cm wide and 5 cm high so just gets in under the group size limits.
